The Canadian Grand Prix will celebrate a new edition in 2023, having been part of the Formula One World Championship since 1967.
In 2005, it was the most-watched Formula One Grand Prix in the world. The race was also the third most-watched sporting event worldwide, behind the first-place Super Bowl XXXIX and that year’s UEFA Champions League Final.
The 2020 and 2021 events were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it was after the cancellation of the 2021 edition, that the contract was extended to 2031.
The fast, low-downforce circuit is one of the drivers’ favorites. The track is quite stop-start, with lots of heavy-braking chicanes and the famous hairpin to get the anchors working hard.
Out of the corners, though, the track is quick and flowing, while the most iconic piece of the circuit comes right at the end of the lap: the Wall of Champions, so-called after excursions into it from Damon Hill, Jacques Villeneuve, and Michael Schumacher during the 1999 Canadian Grand Prix weekend.

F1 Canadian Grand Prix 2023 Preview and Betting Odds
As the F1 action returns to Montreal and the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve this weekend, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen will be looking to claim a fourth race victory on the bounce to cement his 2023 World Drivers’ Championship aspirations.
The Dutchman has been in stunning form of late and as expected, heads into the latest race of the season as the overwhelming favourite.
That said, teammate Sergio Perez still lurks, whilst Mercedes pair Lewis Hamilton and George Russell will be primed to strike given their double podium finish last time out in Barcelona.
That result ensured their jump above Aston Martin into P2 of the Constructors’ standings and it also highlighted their growth across recent races given that their pace seemed much-improved thanks in part to a sided redesign.
Due to that, we’re backing Hamilton to claim another podium this weekend in Montreal. Whilst Russell represents bigger odds, Hamilton holds all the experience needed to succeed at the Canadian Grand Prix, winning this race seven times — the joint-most alongside Michael Schumacher.
Free Betting Picks:
- Max Verstappen to score gold on the podium
- Sergio Perez will get close to his teammate and achieve 2nd
- Lewis Hamilton to enter the podium in 3rd
- George Russell and Fernando Alonzo to closely fight over the 4rth and 5th places
